Had some windows users loving the Cinnamon DE on Mint. They managed to get right into it straight away. Plus, on most Linux distros they come with easy to use package managers. And you can still get deb or rpm packages that can be used to install applications just like a windows installer exe.

Think we might need either a new type of image AI or maybe expanded latent space with just a shit load of new parameters. Anything to improve comprehension and prompt attention.

Nobody has to pay for anything Lemmy or ActivityPub related because its FOSS.

That means Free Open Source Software.

As in, you can get and use the source code yourself without paying a single cent.

AWOO gimme the wolf

Just look at the current state of Skyrim modding.

Aside from some still holding to LE. There are the 1.5.97 SE users and the 1.6+ AE users. And there have been at least one or two more updates in the 1.6 line that also caused more issues and require their own dedicated builds of various mods.

Its fucked

I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn’t require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can’t be serious all the time.

A friend of mine has been looking to upgrade his gaming rig since its pretty old and low budget. Still even has Windows 7!

The build he’s looking at has Ubuntu. I’m excited to welcome him into the Linux community.

Those alternatives are old tech that has way more limitations than a neural implant.

Just because there is old tech that SORT OF does this, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. That’s the same attitude behind “not needing more than 4mb of RAM” back in the day. You can’t stop progress all because YOU are fine with the current state of the tech.

Based on your reaction, I’d hate to hear your opinion on AI. Let me guess, its corpo data theft and only data theft?

What about the multitude of FOSS projects that even you could use if you wanted?

Its simple and lightweight. Can optionally get it on the app store if you want.

Natural Harvest

or something like that I think

Certainly looks better than the average indie game. And before you come at me for saying that.

Indie is often touted as “better than AAA”. But in order for that to be the case, they need to at least offer something similar first. But most indie games are so far removed from even the average AAA game, that its basically apples and oranges.

AA, or mid-tier, is really where its at. Some of the best games in recent years have all been from the AA space. Even ones that launched rough like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk.

They are still leagues above the average indie game that most people here and “the site that shall not be named” tend to list off as their favourites.

So yes, Elden Ring indeed does have great graphics. Not the most cutting edge, but at least it looks like it belongs in the same generation as its competitors.

Funny thing is, most multiplayer blokes play at low settings anyways to maximize performance for some form of advantage.

Awesome

Hoping I’ll find a good fps in this. Been looking for one for a while now. Most of them are basically fancy doom wads and quake clones. Might be able to find something of a more modern style.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.

I swear I’ve had stuff with stripped screws right from the store.

Can you have a normal debate without resorting to ridiculous attacks like this? Grow up.

The term “assault weapon” is being used by people who know nothing about firearms to refer to anything that isn’t an old bolt action these days.

Its meaningless

Meanwhile, 5.56 is plenty if you are accurate.

And, the US military is currently adopting the MCX Fury as their new standard issue rifle.

That thing fires the .277 fury cartridge that is way better at armor penetration than 5.56 ever could be.

And the reason .308 isn’t used as much for most military issued rifles is more to do with recoil and capacity than anything to do with the ballistics.

A .308 would be far better for killing literally anything than 5.56, but is mostly for use in semi-auto marksman rifles and some snipers. Where accuracy of first shot matters more than volume of fire.
